A comparison of British and US financial history post Bretton Woods, showing how financial developments have shaped contemporary society and politics.
The Bretton Woods system ensured a quarter of a century of relative stability on the world's financial markets. The quarter of a century which has followed has brought financial chaos and excessive financial volatility. Exchange Rate Chaos: 25 Years of Financial and Consumer Democracy describes and compares US and British financial history during this period.
It highlights:
* similarites in financial developments between the two countries
* consumer democracy: Have the wishes of consumers dominated exchange rate policy?
* The decline of the small investor and the hegemony of financial institutions
* How the floating exchange rates are manipulated to government advantage
One of the few financial histories to deal with the postwar period, this book shows how financial developments have shaped contemporary society and politics.
